Not banned from a sub.

So here’s how the industry works:

Brand (like Holosun) makes product. Sells product to distributor. Distributor sells to me.

Brands set policies for how dealers set their prices, called a MAP policy, basically it’s to artificially inflate prices so that everyone makes more money, at least in theory. In reality, it just means that the bigger fish you are, the more you can collude with brands to drown smaller dealers out. PSA is a prime example. They get special permission to violate said policy.

Small guys, many of them in this sub, have been rug pulled by Holosun, because Holosun can harass distributors demanding that they not sell to dealers they don’t like. All the while PSA does what they want. Not just PSA, but any big box retailer that runs perpetual sales.

You don’t even need to violate said policy. If they don’t like you (which is what happened here), they’ll just cut you off and shut you down overnight. Fortunately Holosun products only comprise a small snippet of my total business, but it’s money that I lose nonetheless, and it screws the customer due to refunds and cancelled orders, which in the end this sub is meant to serve the customer. I am also meant to serve the customer as a business, hence my transparency on this.

Very off topic for this little Reddit post about Trijicon, but I hope this was helpful and shed some light on things on how this industry works.
